The two soon came to a large room.
"Today Alchemist Mingyu is refining the Qi Gathering Pill. If you see something you don't understand, you can ask me, but don't make a noise! And don't talk casually. What an alchemist hates most is being disturbed!" Chen Xiaoyue explained in advance.
Su Yin nodded and looked inside. A huge furnace was placed in the middle of the house. A middle-aged man in his forties was sorting medicinal materials not far away.
Seeing them coming in, the middle-aged man frowned and was slightly unhappy. Chen Xiaoyue stepped forward and explained a few words.
"The teacher gave him a jade token?"
After hearing the explanation, the middle-aged man named Mingyu looked at Su Yin with confusion, as if he couldn't believe it.
He is an introductory disciple of Shen Fei's alchemy master. He knows the temper and character of this old man. Even a genius like him has not received a jade medal, but this guy who is only seventeen or eighteen years old and does not seem to have much cultivation has received a jade medal. Here we are... What's going on
"Yes!" Chen Xiaoyue nodded.
"Forget it!" Although he was puzzled, Master Mingyu still waved his hand: "Since the teacher can appreciate it, there must be something outstanding, then I will refine the Qi Gathering Pill and show it to him to see how much he can learn. …”
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and continued to sort the medicinal materials. Each plant was carefully identified and then weighed.
"This is medicine preparation. You need to compare the age, medicinal properties, and weight of each medicinal plant. It is the basis of alchemy. It's almost impossible!"
Arriving in front of the young man, Chen Xiaoyue lowered her voice and explained.
"Yeah!" Su Yin nodded, looked at it for a while, and frowned.
He knew how to prepare medicines. He had learned it in the Forbidden City. He identified the medicinal properties, age, and weight of the medicinal materials, and then matched them. But... what the person in front of him did was too rough!
Not to mention other things, the medicinal properties of Midnight Yellow and Qingluo Blue are incompatible. When put together, it is easy to neutralize them. But the other party took both... Qingpengcao and Shiremu have similar medicinal properties, but when fused together, they will It becomes another attribute that does not match the Qi Gathering Pill...
Is this also called dispensing medicine? Just kidding!
If he did this, he would definitely be scolded to death by Li Shijun on the spot, and his legs would be broken.
"That's wrong... He is a real alchemist. How can he be inferior to me, a person who has never learned alchemy?"
Although he was confused, he still endured his patience and continued reading.
"Alchemist Mingyu has in-depth research on medicine preparation. In just ten years, he has formulated seventeen brand-new medicine prescriptions. He is a very famous existence even in the entire Great Yan City. I can see him with my own eyes. Dispensing medicine is an absolute blessing!”
Seeing him frowning and thinking he didn't understand, Chen Xiaoyue said with admiration.
"Blessing?"
Su Yin's face trembled.
If the other party just mixes and takes the medicinal materials indiscriminately, that's all. The quantity of the medicinal properties is not accurately controlled, the preparation method is rough, and the medicinal materials are piled randomly, regardless of whether the medicinal properties will be neutralized or not...
I just took one look at these and felt like I was going to vomit... You actually told me, blessing
Are you sure you're not kidding me
"Could it be that the alchemy master's preparation of medicine is different from what I learned? Only by making a mess can the elixir be refined?" An idea popped up.
It's not impossible. Otherwise, why wouldn't Li Shijun know how to make elixirs
"After the preparation of the medicine is completed, it is time to light the fire in the furnace. Don't underestimate this process. Many people suffer here and never become true alchemists!"
Not knowing what he was thinking, Chen Xiaoyue continued.
"Make a fire?"
Su Yin looked.
At this time, Alchemist Mingyu had finished preparing the medicinal ingredients, came to the furnace, and flicked it with his fingers.
call!
A ball of flame flew out from his fingers and immediately ignited the coals under the furnace.
The true energy spurted out and fell on the charcoal fire. The flame gradually changed from light yellow to light blue, and the temperature was higher.
In less than a minute, the huge cauldron was burned red, emitting waves of hot air.
"Awesome..." Su Yin praised.
When it comes to preparing medicine, he is confident that he can do it better than the other party, but he cannot do this. After all, he has not practiced yet and cannot activate the true energy.
Of course, if you use firewood instead of charcoal and chop it into hair-thick pieces, you can also make the flames burn so fiercely and even at a higher temperature!
call!
Alchemist Mingyu put the medicinal materials into it one by one. When encountering the hot cauldron, they melted quickly, and the room immediately filled with fragrance.
"This is the process of alchemists refining medicine..." Chen Xiaoyue continued.
Su Yin frowned again.
He has never learned about quenching and purification, but he is very proficient in mastering the properties of medicine. Some medicines need to be melted at high temperature to extract the properties, but some... don't need it!
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the water contained in the woody flowers that the other party has just put into the furnace will evaporate immediately when it comes into contact with the hot furnace. It can stimulate some medicinal properties, but 90% of it will not. Loss in vain.
There is also Huanglingxiang. If you soak it in water for three minutes in advance, the medicinal effect will definitely be better!
The other party seemed to be tempering, but in fact it completely destroyed the effects of many medicines.
However, these are his layman's views, and perhaps the alchemist's methods are different.
After tempering for more than ten minutes, Alchemist Mingyu covered the cauldron and stirred up his true energy, controlling the flames to change continuously.
"This is the power of forging medicine and gathering it into a pill!" Chen Xiaoyue said.
It lasted for more than ten minutes. Just when Master Mingyu's face became paler and paler, and he couldn't hold on any longer, the cauldron began to stir.
boom!
With a loud noise, the lid of the cauldron opened, and ten pills flew out and landed in the opponent's palm.
It is the Qi Gathering Pill. Judging from the level, it is exactly the same as the one I bought at the Great Salt Trading Company before. It has already reached the master level!
"I see… "
After watching the whole process, Su Yin understood.
I thought it was so mysterious and complicated. After a long time of fussing, it was to fuse the medicinal properties of all the drugs together and finally compress them into a pill...
The other party's method seemed scientific, but in fact it wasted more than 90% of the medicinal power. No wonder the auras in the elixir were mixed, and the various ratios had huge deviations.
If... all the medicinal properties can be perfectly integrated, it should be possible even without the final burning of the furnace!
"This friend, after watching my alchemy, I don't know what you think. Why don't you comment?"
While he was meditating, a voice rang in his ears. Su Yin looked up. It was the Mingyu alchemist who had finished refining the elixir and had already arrived.
"Comment?" Su Yin was stunned and waved his hand quickly: "This is my first time watching someone make alchemy. I am a layman. I don't understand anything. How dare I say nonsense!"
"The fact that the teacher can give you the jade plaque shows that he values your talent very much. How come... I ask you to comment on it, but you don't want to?"
Alchemist Mingyu sneered.
The teacher gave this jade card that was not given to him. He wanted to see whether he was really talented or fake.
Su Yin scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"If you can win the teacher's favor, you can't see anything. If this is the case, I really doubt whether the teacher has been deceived..." Alchemist Mingyu sneered again and continued.
"I..." Just as he was about to explain, Su Yin suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized!
yes!
Why are you so stupid!
No wonder, I had always thought before that the majestic alchemist was so rubbish in preparing medicines, but now it seems that he did it deliberately to test his eyesight!
When we were in the forbidden area, weren't those lingering thoughts often put to the test
It's ridiculous. He also thought, how could the alchemist make such a stupid mistake? It's been a disguise for a long time!
After trying to figure out what was going on, Su Yin relaxed. Since it was a test, he naturally had to perform better and tell him all the problems that occurred when the other party was preparing the medicine, letting him know that he still had... a little bit of basic knowledge!
In this way, it doesn’t mean that we have let down other people’s good intentions!
